Re: Fortius Quo Fidelius Strength through Loyalty

I'm in it for the long haul, of course. Richo, are you capable of positive/pleasing change ?

Re: Can anyone remember a more bleak outlook than now ?

Here's a conundrum: CEO is reported in AGE yesterday as saying performances are unacceptable but there is no second guessing Richo's extension as he will be a better coach for it. Does that imply unacceptable performances will be accepted until end 2020 as a professional development exercise or poss...

Re: Saints v Demons - Round 7

Two big forwards to take some of the defence focus off Paddy. Double team Hogan. Geary to run through Oliver early. Try not to fumble. Confidence will come because it can only go up - nothing to lose anymore - have fun, take out the driver no laying up; chaos ball is better than a straight turnover....

Re: Saints v Demons - Round 7

Gawn and Hogan. The selectors and coaches have to come up with a plan. Ok to let Gawn have shots straight in front 30 out but Hogan would probably nail his.

Re: Handball Received

The other interesting stat* was elevation of < = to Sea level was achieved; the high float hospital style was matched by the straight to your toe style. Hard to anticipate, gets the opposition confused.

Re: Coach cans his side

Absolutely I totally agree, Blight is a pompous knob. However I don't agree with G.Lyon that Carlton has far more talent. We have the sufficient talent to finish close to the eight with a reasonable draw and a common hymn book. Team selection is, as wiser heads here have noted, totally naïve if not ...

Re: A rift among the coaching staff?

Richo said he was confused and couldn't remember and that Kingo couldn't remember either. That possibly explains a few things. Of course he was mis-speaking but he can't admit what happened. He did remember Tim missing "that" goal but didn't scold him, he did however say well done when his...

Re: Can anyone remember a more bleak outlook than now ?

In the 80s I don't think there was a salary cap, draft and other equalisation measures. Most of the leading clubs of the time cheated any payment and recruitment rules in place, so its difficult to compare with that period, yes? I seem to remember that even when getting regularly beaten we had playe...

During the "school girl" debacle and Ross Lyon's contract fiasco. We do a good line in bleak. The current bleakness for me isn't so much we are losing, I'm immune to that, but that the club through spokesman Richardson seems in Black Knight style denial "...come back its only a flesh ...

Re: In afl there’s only one real type of pressure

I think AR is under scoreboard pressure. One of the few thing left from this season is to watch how he copes. Starting to looked frayed? Hope he becomes proactive/insightful and stops being a commentator of the obvious. I wish him well and a good family support network.

So players in charge? Is Newnes defacto captain? Game reviews actually avoid any individual criticism? Is it physically possible to train for AFL so that the mass swarming approach can not inevitably cause group fatigue fade outs in the last quarters of an AFL game - Carlton might just use the rope ...

1) If you did not watch or listen to the match I told the players we were in the game for three quarters but foot skills were crap. They took this insight on board and seemed somewhat surprised. But it is my role to state the obvious as it may otherwise escape a professional footballer. Again we wer...

Definition of insanity: playing Gresham, Membrey, Newnes, Savage, Sinclair and Gilbert in the same side over and over again but also expecting to kick a winning score or win more than 3 games a season. If chaps like Marshall, Battle, Rice, Austin and Clark are not better then its overall more pitifu...

Re: Pepper Money

How about a payday loan to buy 15 goals. if the club then backs itself at $3 it can probably get 4 points and pay off the loan and start again.
